“A CHILDLIKE FAITH” Matthew 18:1-5 NLT

 

Matthew 18:1-5 NLT 1. “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” 2. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. 5. “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.”

 

A CHILDLIKE FAITH  - Matthew 18:1-5 NLT

 

A childlike faith makes you greater,

As your trust is placed in God's word,

While greeting and loving one another,

You'll be welcoming the Lord.

 

Share the lesson of this truth,

The Lord placed a child among us,

Humble, innocent and full of youth,

As a constant reminder of His trust.

 

Be dependent on the Lord's way,

For the sake of the young and aged,

When we live humbly everyday,

Childlike goodness is made.

 

God's word is forever true,

And calls for the repentance of sin,

And like a child be pure and new,

In both your life and mind therein.

 

Treasure His guidance completely,

It's a powerful pursuit indeed,

Like a child shadow God meekly,

Carrying love for all to see.

  Poem of the Week by Marcia 9/24/2021   “ONE WHO SERVES” Reflection on 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at things people look at; people look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.” And on , Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”   “ ONE WHO SERVES”   Each En-Gedi God creates, Where a servant is assigned, Is to exemplify integrity, And bring unity to mankind.   To pray for those that serve, Is a joy and privilege, For the nature of a call, Is to love and encourage.   For together we are stronger, And together we are one, For God loves His people, And leads us through His Son.   Where we learn His holy word, And receive His Spirit's peace, We are sealed by His ...

  Marcia’s Poem of the Week 12.10.2021   LIVE IN PEACE Scripture: Romans 12:18; Key Verse: "Do all that you can to Live in peace with everyone."     LIVE IN PEACE Lord, help us live in peace today, And hold on to what is good, And help us share Your loving way, And show affection as we should. Help us serve you with energy, In trouble, remind us to pray, Help us faithfully share hospitality, And take care in the words we say. Lord, should one desire to harm us, Help us ask a blessing over them, For it is true You're teaching us, But You are also teaching them. Let us keep hearing Your voice, So as to weep with those who mourn, And be joyful with those who rejoice, And able to keep from doing wrong. Lord, out of our plenty help us share, And respond with virtue in every way, Since the shadow of evil is everywhere, Light our path with peace each day. Amen.   Marcia Riehle 2021
